I can understand not wanting to be on any of those social 
networks: I have never joined a social network, including 
twitter, and don't read, let alone register with, any of the 
link-sharing sites, like reddit, with the rare exception of a 
D-related link in the forum.  If a blog or forum requires a 
facebook/google/twitter login, anything more than an email 
address, I don't comment.  I resisted joining github till I had 
to in order to contribute to D.

But I don't see how bitcoin is similar to any of those, perhaps 
you have _some_ explanation?  You don't have to keep the bitcoin, 
all those sites will buy your bitcoin with dollars anytime you 
want.  It's just an open way to trade value- in your case, just 
another payment/donation method- I don't see the issue.  If it 
required setting up a bunch of software, sure, but those websites 
make it easy to set up, as they run the client for you.
